Abstract

A boot support includes a disc solidly secured on a ski board and engaged with a bracket for rotatably securing the bracket to the ski board. One or more pawls are disposed between the disc and the ski board and are forced to to engage with the bracket and to secure the bracket to the disc and the ski board. The pawls may be solidly retained between the disc and the ski board and may be solidly forced to engage with the bracket for securing the bracket to the ski board after the bracket has been rotated relative to the ski board to the required suitable angular position.
